New Feed Additive Seen Cutting Hog Fat Without Slowing Gains
Iowa State College researchers report a feed additive named 3Nitro reduces back fat by seven to nine percent in 80 pigs finished to 200 pounds. Pigs self fed a standard grow finish ration, with some receiving the chemical from weaning onward. Best results occurred at 0.0025 percent of total feed, reducing fat 10 to 12 percent without affecting gain rate or efficiency.

How to Measure Cow's Mothering Ability
Oklahoma State University researchers say calf weight at 112 days predicts mothering ability as well as weight at 210 days. Earlier weighing helps identify poor milking cows for culling, boosting cattle management flexibility.

Tests Show 3 Nitros Boosts Pig Growth and Efficiency
Tests indicate pigs gain 14 to 17 pounds daily and convert feed at higher efficiency with 3 Nitros. Researchers observed 16 percent faster gains and 3 percent better feed conversion in drylot conditions and 5 percent improvements on pasture. No extra benefit on concrete.
Weeding Sweet Corn With 2 4D and Dinitro Compared
Penn State Agricultural Experiment Station research shows 2 4D and dinitro can be applied from planting to 2 3 inches tall corn in pre or post emergence timings. 2 4D is cheaper but dinitro offers earlier cultivation and less stalk brittleness, though it costs three to four times as much.
